NY Times Visits Way To Heaven

THEATER REVIEW | 'WAY TO HEAVEN'

Nazi Camp Persists in Charade of Decency

This spare, eloquent work — staged by Equilicuá Producciones, a group based in New York and Spain — has been, not surprisingly, a hit in Europe and South America. Here, leanly directed by Matthew Earnest, it’s a powerful illustration of how theatrical artifice can be pressed into the service of atrocity.

“Way to Heaven” runs through May 24 at Teatro Circulo, 64 East Fourth Street, East Village; (212) 868-4444, smarttix.com.
